What Is Ear Pain?
By Brian Joseph MillerMedically Reviewed by Justin Laube, MD
Most ear pain clears up on its own without any treatment. But if it's not getting better, or if you have other, more serious symptoms, you may need to see a doctor.
Most people assume earaches and ear pain happen only to children, but they can also happen to adults. An earache may affect one or both ears, but the majority of the time it's in one ear. Ear pain may be dull, sharp, or burning, and it may feel constant or come and go.
Pain in the ear can have multiple causes. It can be an early sign of colds, flu, or infection. If you have an ear infection, fever and temporary hearing loss may occur.
